Kamala Harris will catch up on sleep after the election but it will take longer than she thinks

Kamala Harris believes she is going to “catch up” on her missed election sleep following the big day, but according to science, she might find that more difficult than she expected.

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are fighting it out in the 2024 Presidential election as everyday Americans report increased anxiety. They are wildly different people, right down to their diets, so America has a big decision on its hands.

Kamala Harris is going to ‘catch up’ on her sleep

Kamala Harris is a busy woman so we hold no grudges about her committing skincare crimes or losing sleep to work on her campaign.

Earlier this week, the Democrat appeared on the YouTube channel of Dr Mike Varshavski. While you might not know the physician by name, we’re certain you’ve seen his impressive biceps grace the contents of hot men roundups and various magazine covers.

While they covered important topics like the state of US healthcare, the rising price of medicine, and RFK Jr’s workout routine, the dashing doctor did question whether Kamala is getting her recommended amount of sleep.

“I have to ask, being a primary care doctor, are you getting your seven to nine hours of sleep these days, or it’s too busy for that these days?” he questioned, as the Vice President replied, “No not really, but I’ll catchup. Do you believe in catching up on sleep?”

Doctor Mike said he always believes there is “sleep debt” you can payback, but the science still seems to be out on that one.

Catching up on sleep is a heavily debated topic

While some social media users said that Kamala looked “well rested” despite her lack of sleep, many other questioned whether you can actually “catch up” on those lost Z’s.

As per the Sleep Foundation, taking a 10 to 20 minute nap is the most effective way to feel refreshed and efficient despite your lack of good quality sleep.

Though catching up on the weekend can help you feel better, there is little evidence to show it dramatically effects your cumulated sleep debt from the week. Research shows that our bodies can take up to four days to recover from one hour of lost sleep or up to nine days to completely eliminate sleep debt.
